You gotta do it. It's the spirit of the deer.

When you drink it, you'll be a real hunter.

Bottoms up.

Go. Go ahead.

Go. Go for it, buddy.

All right. All right.

You did it.

His blood is yours. You know,

my dad said that once you do that

there's gonna be something

different about you. Always.

It wasn't so bad.

It wasn't that bad.

Wasn't so bad.

That's the last of it, except for the olives.

We've still got plenty of meat left.

Just stuff you shot.

So tell me, dork,

where do you suppose

hamburgers come from?

Nobody shoots them.

We need food.

We need to know.

Yeah.

We do.

All right.

We'll go into town.

JED:
Jesus.

There's no one in here, either.

It's like it's been here for 1,000 years.

(BIRD CAWING)

Come on.

Hey! The stores are open.

There's people everywhere.

Maybe it's over.

Hey, hey, hey!

- Don't go anywhere.

- Those aren't our troops.

You can't tell from here, Jed.

MATT:
Jesus Christ.

JED:
What is that?

- I've never seen a tank like that before.

- I don't know.

ROBERT:
Yeah, but they're packed.

That means something.

JED:
Let's stash our stuff.

- Leave it all here, okay?

- Good idea.

That's the mayor's car.

They got Daryl's dad's car.

- Look at the size of that tank.

- Jesus.

MATT:
(WHISPERING) Louis.

Louis, how you doing?

Was he scared of us?

Let's ask Alicia. She'll know.

Six toothbrushes, please.

- Oh, Jed.

- Hi. How's your sister?

- What? Where'd you come from?

- The mountains, we've been hiding...

Are you crazy? You gotta get out of here.

We will, but first

we gotta find out what's going...

You don't understand.

They know who all of you are.

They're looking for you.

- Who?

- The KGB.

- The Russians?

- And the Cubans.

The Cubans.

Look, have you seen my father?

I called, there was no answer.

I went by the station, it was empty...

Okay, listen.

I'm gonna tell you something

I'm not supposed to talk about.

Nobody is, but...

But what?

They took a lot of people away.

People that they thought

were gonna make trouble for them.

People that had guns or things

they wanted. They just took them away.

Where?

Re-education camps.

That's what they call it.

The drive-in. I heard they took

a lot of people to... Jed?

I pray for you.

MAN ON PA:
America is a whorehouse

where the revolutionary ideals

of your forefathers

are corrupted and sold in alleys

by vendors of capitalism

You grow fat

on the pledge of freedom fighters

(PROPAGANDA CONTINUES)

- Hey.

- Yeah?

Could you find my dad, Tom Eckert?

I'm Jed.

- Jed? Matt?

- Mr. Barnes?

Laddie, I'll go find your dad.

I know where he is.

You know Morris' Market?

The one on the highway.

Can you see if Mr. Morris is in there, too?

I'll look around for him, too.

(WOMAN SOBBING)

Daddy?

It's all right. I can stand up.

Boys.

Daddy.

Jed...

MATT:
Daddy...

Don't talk. Don't say anything.

Let me look at you.

Yeah, I knew I was right.

I knew it.

You're alive.

I was tough on both of you.

I did things that made you,

made you hate me sometimes.

You understand now, don't you?

What happened, Dad?

Why are you here? What'd they do?

Doesn't matter.

One way or another,

one reason or another, we're all gone.

It's all gone.

Remember...

Remember when you used to

go in the park and play?

And I used to put you on the swings,

and both of you were

so damn little that...

I remember. I remember all of it.

Well, I ain't gonna be around

to pick you up when you fall now.

Both of you got to

take care of each other now.

We'll never see you again, Dad.

Yes, you will.

I don't want to hear that, Mattie.

What happened to Mom? Where is she?

We can't afford to be crying anymore now.

I don't want either of you

to ever cry for me again.

Don't ever do it.

Not as long as you live.

Where's my dad, Mr. Eckert?

I don't know, son.

I don't know.

You all get going now.

Get out before they find you.

Dad,

I love you.

I know you do, Son. I love you, too.

Boys!

Avenge me!

Avenge me!

Come on, Tom.

I'll be damned.

- Get in here before somebody sees you.

- Mr. Mason, how're you doing?

- Good to see you.

- Hello, Mr. Mason.

(MRS. MASON GIGGLING)

- I'll get you boys some soup.

- We got us some outlaws here.

Wow, a house.

Boys, find a chair.

I haven't been in a house for five weeks.

You look it.

Who you got out there with you?

We got Danny, we got Daryl...

Well, we all figured you boys

were headed for F.A. By now.

What's F.A.?

Free America. That's the safe zone.

Where are we?

Hell, you boys is in occupied territory.

You're 40 miles behind enemy lines.

Right smack-dab in the middle

of World War III.

What are you boys doing

fooling around town anyway?

We've been looking for news, Mr. Mason.

We haven't seen or talked to anybody

since it all started.

Wait here just a minute.

I wish there was more.

Sorry.

Thank you, Mrs. Mason.

We really appreciate it.

Here, this'll keep you boys warm.

Use this to see where you're standing

from now on.

A radio? Mr. Mason, we can't take this.

That's all right. I got another one.

Now, you boys listen to me.

Don't go to Calumet no more.

How come?

Because there's been

some attacks up there.

People waking up with their throats cut.

- Word has it, it's you.

- No.

What happened to my dad and mom?

Your daddy's dead, Robert.

They shot him.

The Russians found some guns missing,

so they shot him for aiding guerillas.

What do you mean '"aiding guerillas'"?

He never aided anybody.

- We took the stuff.

- We killed him.

They killed him, son.

Made him an example.

Now, you boys listen to me

and let that burn in real good.

I don't know

where your mother is, Robert.

I ain't got nobody now.

You boys need food, a bed,

you need anything, you come here.

I got a couple of heirlooms

I want to hide with you.

Jack, no!

My granddaughters.

They spent two days sneaking here.

Those sons of b*tches

tried having their way with them.

Toni, Erica, this is Matt and Jed Eckert.

They're gonna take care of you.

I don't wanna know where they're going.

Bye, Grandpa.

- Mr. Mason.

- Yes. Thank you.

Well, Mr. Mason.

Good luck, son.

Here's a box of ammo

for your granddaddy's pistol.

- Thanks.

- Good luck to you.

I'll take care of them. Don't worry.

You studied English. Translate.

American history. I know this well.
